I’ve never been the type br To venture out on my own br Being by myself was normal br I never felt alone br br But one day the sky br Didn’t look so blue, br Nor the grass so green. br Being by myself wasn’t like br It used to be, it seems. br br Gradually I made a new friend br Who knew me right away. br It was weird how quickly br She understood all I had to say. br br Told her all my innermost secrets br My dreams, my thoughts. br She never disputed me br I liked her a lot. br br She never judged me, br She knew just how I felt. br She seemed to just accept me, br And all the problems I’d been dealt. br br I felt so close to this person br I needed a closer look. br Puzzled I walked up nearer br And realized that my new best friend br Was nothing but a mirror.
